Well, if you consider Jerry's score for "The Homecoming" the "Waltons" pilot, then I'd like to see his six or seven S1 scores also released (I know it couldn't be included with "Homecoming" because of the different film companies involved, CBS and Lorimar)
I believe it's been established that Lorimar had all of their stored music tapes destroyed to save space. The Homecoming is all that survives of The Waltons.
Interesting. do you recall where it was said the tapes were desposed of like that? All I know is this quote from Lukas:
"Probably not: the show is owned by Warner Bros. but comes from the Lorimar library and there do not appear to be any music masters. We checked. Sorry!
We should be getting another Goldsmith twofer on Monday from Intrada, and Roger just posted clues: "One double header from the Fox catalog featuring a WWII actioner paired with a crime drama.
The other expands an LP which debuts on CD for the first time. The score hails from 1979."
Before almost immediately retracting it and saying it applied to the following releases (the ones coming up this Monday), Doug posted the following in his corner, probably about the same double header: "Up with one of the CDs is a fantastic action score getting it's world premiere complete release, with lots of music being released for the first time ever. Rounding out that CD's program is another cool title by the same composer."
I'm thinking this has to be the pairing of the complete scores for Von Ryan's Express and The Detective, which I've been predicting for a couple months now. Von Ryan's isn't exactly an "action score" in my book but it's definitely got its share of action and is set during WWII. And The Detective is definitely a crime drama and fits the other "cool" clue. Both Fox scores released incomplete by Varese in the Fox box and both starring Frank Sinatra.
Now I just want to know when we're going to get the other Goldsmith premiere promised by Roger...Seven Days in May was just an appetizer!
...and I turned out to be right! Unfortunately both The Detective and Von Ryan's Express seem to be missing one cue each (please correct me if I'm wrong), but it's great to have better sounding otherwise definitive individual reissues of both of this inventive scores. I've gone ahead and taken them off the "to do" list despite the little bit of music still missing as I think they're close enough and almost certainly the best we're going to get for this two titles... it would be neat if in their new series for Prometheus, Tadlow would occasionally reconstruct just a cue or two lost from an otherwise-surviving score to fill out a disc.
We also just got a new issue of Breakheart Pass, Kritzerland's first Goldsmith, which turned out to have a missing cue after all which has now been restored! I had left that off the list previously because all that was thought to be missing was a tracked cue (which Kritzerland has also replicated on their new edition), but I'm happy to discover an extra exciting minute and a half of Goldsmith western music I wasn't aware of before.
Can't wait to see what other exciting Goldsmith titles LLL and Intrada have for us next (and Kritzerland has one more coming for us as well)!
My guess is Poltergeist II but there's an outside chance of Link (Intrada's wasn't complete; there's an unmentionable with more music). Maybe Supergirl or Legend if Silva Screen doesn't hold rights in perpetuity...
Raggedy Man or Secret of NIMH are probably too much to hope for?

NIMH doesn't really fit into Kritzerland's catalog. So I would be pleasantly surprised if that was the title.
While disappointed it's not coming from LLL or Intrada in terms of liner notes, I am very excited in terms of completeness and sound quality -- as we all know, Kritzerland regularly does huge upgrades in sound almost every time they reissue a title (just think of David and Bathsheba!) And Varese's liner notes weren't much to write home about so I thankfully won't feel the need to keep my copy of that album even though Bruce's will be brief...

Only when it comes to liner notes, thank goodness! Otherwise you would've stopped at the album program for Poltergeist II, but not only are you offering us the complete score but to give us all the important extras you're splurging for a second disc and offering it to us at 1 disc price!
Updated again to remove Sebastian from the list. Roger just posted a tracklisting of Intrada's upcoming release, featuring both the album recording in stereo and the complete film recording in mono! At last!
It turns out we'll be getting not only the original LP recording (in stereo) but the complete film recording (in mono) as well, plus almost 20 minutes of Tristram Cary's material, in a packed disc almost 80 minutes long! I think that qualifies as definitive, don't you? At last, Lukas's warning not to buy the Harkit issue has paid off...
